Report: Matt Ryan gets a $46.5 million signing bonus

Details about the enormous extension Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan agreed to on Thursday afternoon are starting to come out.

We don’t know yet exactly how Ryan will be paid over the course of the deal, but we do know it’s worth $150 million over five years with $100 million guaranteed, which is on top of the $19.25 million he was already owed for the 2018 season.

Apparently the new deal includes a very handsome signing bonus.

According to a report by Michael Ginnitti at Spotrac, Ryan will take home over $52 million this year, in large part thanks to a $46.5 million signing bonus.
